‘Idiocracy’ (2006). Dir. Mike Judge.

Look into the reaction from 100 years ago when it was proposed we stop sending children into coal mines or getting their arms ripped off in factories. The rich said it would collapse society itself.

One year since I ruined the slumber party.

Nobody should be using Google anyway. If you ever needed a reason to start using DuckDuckGo this is probably it.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Plentiful and affordable housing, public healthcare, a healthy sense of shame, privacy, the social contract, Roe vs Wade, a future you felt you could build towards, doing most things with other people, reading for recreation, critical thinking, commonplace intellectual curiosity, actual subcultures.

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

All this GenAI shit remains extremely "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." coded.

Get your bag, I guess.

This sounds so cool!

I hope people give disadvantaged artists a shot first. Less likely, now. I wonder what her clothes, makeup, health, time and image consult cost. I wonder what kind of bed she sleeps in at night. I wonder how much personal space she gets to have. I wonder if she notices any of it. bit.ly/4st38ou

At some point this years-long bloodbath will end. At some point we'll run out of blood.

Hey, you. Yes, you. If you were to really drill down, what was the one weird thing or moment way back when that set you on the path to being who you are or doing what you’re doing rn? Is that thing still a part of your life?

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Hello, sudden influx of new people. I really need to pay more attention to this thing. Currently the lead setting designer on Zeo Genesis, working with actors, writing an audio drama, designing a game, getting a business off the ground and working on some other stuff.

While waiting for 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR, check out CHAIN REACTIONS on Shudder for @horrornonna.com's insightful analysis of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (the strongest segment in the doc imo)

If you're dealing with a suspected narcissist in your life, especially if you're hurt and confused by their behaviour, this is an excellent primer from one of the best in the field. It can also be comfortably listened to at X1.25 speed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bLO...

What I'm hearing is: we'll fast-track global water shortages, price-restrict the availability of technology to the wealthy and radically inflate the everyday cost of living for everyone on the planet... 1/ sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-...

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.

Starting the new year on the right foot.

No, I don't.

To me the strangest and saddest thing about these MAGA types talking about Valhalla is that Odin hung on the world tree to win, for the people, the runes - language, organised thought. And the same MAGA types are doing their utmost to take that gift away.

Pretty sure there's a Nine Inch Nails lyric that addresses this moment perfectly.

like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering. if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.

Please do something, Canada. This is an outrageous incident and I really hope you're not going to let it slide. I'm sorry my country is full of violent garbage people.

They‘ll keep making UBI studies until they happen upon the one combo of people who all „fail“ to make something out of their lives, and then they’ll stop and parade that one study around until eternity.

Hulk Hogan exemplified the idea that, with focus and discipline and belief, a person really can become a nauseating piece of ambulatory human garbage.

Look at this list, an absolute monsters of rock tour of women* in horror movies right here - we were so lucky literally everyone on our wish list said yes * and legendary producer Giles Edward as the token chap, once again proving himself as a proper bona fide money-where-his-mouth-is ally

Mecha-Hitler birthed an AI girlfriend & hooked it up with Claude. Ppl are gonna get 1-shotted by the 8-dimensional lobotomy this husk of a memory of love from a dying brain is gonna slow-blade into their lobes. "Congrats, babe! We've got schizophrenia." I guess we really are THIS infantilized.

The internet is back in Gaza! I'm relieved to have heard from Baha after five days of silence. He still urgently needs help but at least he and his family are alive. Please assist them if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/brgdd-help... @mommunism.bsky.social

A classic (not mine) but: “An old man takes a young man to a bar and ruins his life forever.”

It is possible to become an algorithmically generated person. A quite literal Non-Player Character.

*World's best-selling novelist Walter Scott, so wrecked by gallstones and opium that he wrote and published a novel and completely forgot about it

"I hurt hundreds of you but now I'm hurting so I'd like you - the people I hurt - to blow up your entire lives to stop me hurting. At least until it is, once again, financially viable for me to fuck you over."

cool does this mean i dont have to get a job

I'm just a good time.

>would kill the AI industry imagine thinking that this would be a bad thing.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.
